On April 23rd, our Spring panelists joined Tom Williams on Utah Public Radio’s Access Utah program to ask: Now What?
Last year, the Giving Circle asked, How can we take a stand against sexual harassment? In our own lives, in our families, in our communities?
In 2019, the Giving Circle asks, How can we reweave the fabric of gender culture and create healthy relationships?
On October 15, 2017, actress Alyssa Milano sent out a pivotal message on Twitter: “If you’ve been sexually harassed or assaulted write ‘me too’ as a reply to this tweet.”
The response were shocking.
Within 24 hours, her request generated thousands of replies, comments and retweets, inspiring thousands more original posts on social media, with women and men from around the world sharing personal stories that had often never been disclosed.
The #MeToo movement kicked off numerous important conversations, movements and legislation. In this interview, we asked: What Now?
How can each of us take an active role in reweaving the gender culture in our country?
